Scenes from the Beach. This item is unavailable.Scenes from the Beach

Inspired by the moving beauty of the beach and the sea, George Thatcher once again shares the quiet splendor of his daily walks on the beach. As with his column of the same name, and his first book, "Beach Walks, Thatcher provides witness to the incredible life and beauty found on tranquil shores. Faithfully recording what he sees and feels, Thatcher provides moments of serene reflection and poignant loveliness that continue in the mind even when the moment itself--like the tides and the birds he lovingly relates--are gone. His brief accounts allow us to see everyday miracles and to experience the peace and pleasure they bring time and time again.

""George Thacher is the unofficial poet laureate of Coastal Mississippi. His eye for detail allows all of us to see miracles in the mundane, small scenes observed beneath the microscope of a writer's lens, then painted in spare and eloquent prose. The result is a treat for his readers who may have gone too long without the joy of sand between their toes. George takes us on a journey that enriches our souls and rejuvenates our sense of place."
